I had a fantastic little room with a balcony and a very kind and caring host. Тhere was a lovely view of Etna from the breakfast room. The only problem was the neighbour's dog (the hotel is on one floor in an apartment building) which kept barking, even through the night.

Good location
Owner is very friendly but speaks no English. We were able to communicate with Google translate. Room was great and I had a perfect view of Mt. Etna. Breakfast was not the best. Owner's son asked us what we wanted for breakfast the next day but did not give us what we asked for. Wifi did not work in all the rooms. Hotel is in a great location

Siamo stati benissimo. La camera era ampia, luminosa e ditata di tutti i comfort. Colazione ottima e abbondante con vista sull'Etna. Il signor Carmelo e suo figlio Marco gentilissimi, ci hanno dato tanti consigli utili su come muoverci nella zona, cosa visitare e dove mangiare. Il B&B si trova in pieno centro, e tutti i posti da vedere in città sono raggiungibili a piedi. Torneremo sicuramente.

The host was very friendly and tried to help. He had minimal English so used a translator on his phone. The property was not where it was shown on hotels.com. Instead of being on the square by the metro it was about a quarter of a mile away from the location listed in the direction away from the city center. It did have a bus stop outside the door.

Nice owner. Perfect place for a short stay( I stayed one night). Not a ton of amenities but has the basics. Only problem is the WiFi does t work consistently which is a problem if your an international visitor.

I truly recommend this place
I loved this place!! The location is perfect. It's near all the main sites. The room was super clean. The bed was comfortable. Carmelo was a great host!! He's a very nice man. Just right outside the entrance is the bus stop to the airport. The breakfast was simple but very good. I would definitely stay here again. I hope to return in the future.

Helt ok
Bra läge på via Etnea. Hållplats för flygbuss direkt utanför entrén. Trevlig värd som tyvärr inte pratar engelska. Ingen frukostbuffé, utan värden fixar enligt önskemål. Ingen riktig hotellentre så det kan vara svårt att hitta första gången, men värden kom direkt efter telefonsamtal. Finns balkonger med utsikt över staden och mot Etna. Rent och fint rum. Överlag bra och prisvärt.

Best place to stay in Catania. Wonderful service, view to Etna and over the city from the balconies. Close to everything. Bus to the airport - Alibus- leave right in front of the building. Remember to contact the owner before arrival.

Ottima esperienza
La struttura e' ottima, il palazzo da fuori non e' nuovissimo ma l'interno e' ristrutturato molto bene. Non e' un albergo vero e proprio ma una struttura a camere, ma va bene lo stesso. Le stanze sembrano a tutti gli effetti camere di albergo di ottimo livello. Il titolare e' gentilissimo e molto accogliente. La fermata dell'autobus che arriva e va all'aeroporto e' proprio di fianco al portone. Buonissima colazione inclusa. Unico neo, ma non dipende dalla struttura ma piuttosto dal sito, la posizione sulla mappa e' spostata di circa 500m rispetto alla posizione reale. Io ad esempio avevo bisogno di andare ogni giorno nello stesso posto per lavoro e mi sono trovato un po' piu' distante del previsto. Ho segnalato al sito di correggere la posizione. Direi comunque che l'esperienza e' stata molto positiva e la prossima volta che tornero' a Catania provero' a prenotare di nuovo in questo posto.

Sluta leta, här blir du nöjd
Vi tog Alibus för EUR 4/pers utanför flygplatsterminalen, till stoppet "Via Etna", vilket ligger 5 m från boendets port. Boendet består av 6 rum i en modern lägenhet, och känns mycket finare än på fotona. Lugnt och säkert. Vi hade balkong med utsikt mot Etna, och de andra balkongerna var med solig utsikt över staden. Du bor mitt på huvudgatan, och har därmed nära till allt. Ägaren, som är supertrevlig och verkligen vill väl, mötte oss med en kopp kaffe. Dagliga frukosten var över förväntan, med flingor, ägg, ost, yoghurt, färskpressad juice, kaffe, frukt, färskt bröd och varma bakverk. Stället och servicen var verkligen tiptop, så jag kan varmt rekommendera att bo här.

Perfetto
Un B&B nella posizione piu pratica di Catania. A 1 passo dalla fermara del bus per l'aeroporto. Il B&B è curatissimo con camere comode, spaziose e silenziose nonostante la centralita della struttura. Carmelo e Luca ci hanno accolto in una maniera impeccabile.
